TL;DR Summary: Text recommendations for laser ablation for grad student.

Hi all,

Long time reader, first time poster. I graduated with a B.Sc. in physics in May 2024. I am now currently doing research in my graduate studies. As such, I have been tasked with finding one or two good textbooks and/or some papers on lasers. I am curious to see what the community thinks would be a good textbook to use to learn the topic and covers laser ablation. I am primarily interested in the fluence as a function of distance for laser ablation. I have come across a few online, but nothing is quite on par with what I am aiming to find.

Thank you in advance!
 
The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
